Our country roads, after having been in
as bad condition as they probably could
get, the larger number of them, anyway,
have improved greatly IN the last few
days under the drying up process of sun
and wind. Some of the roads are still
very bad in places, but if the good wealth
er will last n little while yet everything
will be lovely and the geese will hang so
high that even Nick Woodiork will rip
his clothes trying to reach it, How long
will Shenandoah county persist in her
"penny wise and pound foolish policy in
regard TO her road system and manage
meDt Had our people taken the proper
course in this matter a few years after the
war, such a course as was presented to
them and advocated by some Of our
progressive people and by the Shenandoah
HERALD, all Of the principle roads Of the
county, at least, would have been splen-
did macadamized roads equal to the Val
ley pike, and the expense would have
been very little more than the amounts
we have almost thrown away upon them
during that time. Would it not be the
part of wisdom TO commence now, and
not 60 on forever throwing our money and
labor into mud holes without the slightest
prospect Of being benefited in return
Good roads indicate the prosperity Of a
country or section in marked degree,
and it is a real shame that such county

beautiful in the State, should be a hun

counties Of Pennsylvania, Maryland, or
even some Of the counties in Virginia.
Everybody is benefited directly or midi
rectly by good roads, and of course we
should all advocate turning our long,
billy, crooked mud canals into such roads
as would be firm and smooth in all kinds
Of weather and at all seasons Of the year.

the cries of the wounded and the

to the cars when the fire was burn

wretches pinned there begged them
for Gods sake to help them out,
stripped them Of their watches and
jewelry and searched their pockets

When the dead bodies were laid
out in the cornfeld these hyenas

proven by the fact that this morning

o'ooac, Suici surgeon OF the Toledo,
Peoria and Western railroad, had
come on at once in a special train
and with him were two other sur
geons and their assistants. From
Peoria came Drs. Martin, Baker,
Flagloor and johnson, and from ev-
cry city whence the unfortunate ex-
cursionists had come from their
physicians and friends hurried to
help them and after 8 o'clock in the
morning there were plenty of people
to do the work that needed such
prompt attention.
In the town hall was the main hos
pital and in it anxious relatives and
sorrowing friends sat tanning gently
the suffers faces, asking the attend
ing surgeons as they bound up the
wounds and insisting that there must
be hope.
Down in the dead houses, fathers,
husbands, brothers, sisters, wives
and children tearfully inspected
each face as it was uncovered and
sighed as the features were unknown
or cried out in anguish when well
known face, sometimes fearfully
mangled, was uncovered. The en-

was taxed and kind-hearted WON

miraculous how many escaped, as
